Healthy Boundaries

A question that comes up a lot in jail is how to set proper boundaries while still living up to the Kingdom Law of Love? I just came across the following resolution from Mahatma Ghandi who was a great admirer of the Christian faith. It seems to me it expresses the balance very well.

Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:
I shall not fear anyone on earth.
I shall fear only God.
I shall not bear ill toward anyone.
I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
I shall conquer untruth by truth.
And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.
Mahatma Ghandi

Many of us Christians could learn a lesson from this humble man who, through the passion of his convictions, overturned the British rule of India.
